    servicing price

    I was quoted £387 for a 5th year service last year which was effectively an oil change. My advice would be to shop around or what I did was purchase the oil and all genuine parts and had my Honda dealer carry the work so I maintain the Honda stamp in the book for the extended warranties. After 7...

    Just bought 06 Accord 2.2 EX CTDI with fault code P1237

    Whilst I do agree and hope that it is the fuel filter, I mentioned the procedure that I followed as this would not cost anything otherwise a fuel filter could be purchased and fitted and may not cure the problem then Gaz has made an unnecessary purchase and potentially paid for it to be fitted...

    Genuine Fuel Filter & P1237 DTC

    Thanks for the support Dave and Shabz but having taken the car back to the garage they replaced the fuel filter for another genuine denso filter, but as soon as I left the garage the car was still not right. I discussed with the mechanic what the next coarse of action should be and we both...

    Genuine Fuel Filter & P1237 DTC

    Hi chaps Had 6th year / 75k service carried out today with all genuine filters and fluids purchased from Holdcroft Honda. When I collected the car and drove home the car was very sluggish and unresponsive and when I tried to push the car above 3000 rpm the EML came on. My initial thought was...

    You sound like your going about it in the right way and taking someone with you who knows what to look for is good, but that said as I'm sure you know it's like anything you could check everything and it could be ok at the time for it only to go wrong at a later date. When I purchased mine I had...

    The reason I say its not unrealistic is that I paid £2.5k for my 06 CDTI Sport with 37k on the clock FHSH, it just needed 3 tyres, mot and tax so in total about £2.8k. I think I was fortunate and this isn't the general rule of thumb but kind of proves mine point. Also I've seen 70k - 80k miles...

    Hi there, as temping as it sounds to have had all the major bits and pieces done, the problem I have is that they were done by a local garage to the seller (was this in Poland). Plus the servicing being carried out in Poland you have no real way of knowing if the servicing has been carried out...

    2.2 Clutch and Dual Mass Flywheel

    As I understand it Ben & Steve a DMF can visually look ok, but it is when the DMF is manipulated if there is to much play then it has had it as the internal springs and bearings have been worn beyond their tolerances. Here are a couple of video links which may help Video 1 Video 2
